    <body><![CDATA[I just finished this one.  I didn't like Essie and that makes it really hard to like the book.  But it wasn't a terrible book, and actually I would still recommend it to someone looking for a sqeaky clean romance.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a fun, clean girl book!  It has romance and suspense, but is kind of predictable in the ways of relationships.  There was a definite sense of girl-power, even though it took place in 1898.  It was great. ]]></body>
